Okay, I put in a request.. Was going to set it for the 20th, but since it's King, went with 19..

I've been really wanting to read this... If I can make it work I'll be there!

I've had this on my TBR forever. If I can juggle it I will join. :)

Thank you! This will actually be my first Stephen King book... so you'll have to explain the 19 reference once we get the thread. :)

And re Abercrombie - please read all of First Law before Wisdom of Crowds 😄 I wish I had time to reread or else I'd join you!!


Guys! Anyone interested in reading First Law series by Joe Abercrombie???

I am interested but not for the main trilogy, let me know if you want to read Best Served Cold and the next books.

@Tammie & Nirkatze: Super! When do you want to start? I was aiming on Jan. 23rd?

@Nirkatze: your first Stephen King book?? It won't be your last, I promise you that :) His earlier work is still the greatest, but the recenter work are also master pieces.



I've read a little further, so would pick up at Red Country

Here's our thread. I posted a link which explains a little of the 19 ref.

You can, but Yanique asks that you still put in the Form Requests... just mention that you want to reuse the old threads in the Special Instructions... this is so the new BRs will appear in the List of Future Buddy Reads

I have 'Best Served Cold' on my Tbr - I read the first trilogy. If you would like to start sometime this month. :D

Just saw that! I might join you in re-reading the first three books, including 'The Blade Itself' - if that's okay. :D


Yes, I think reading with the others would be great. I might actually do a re-read with everyone else as I read the first trilogy five or six years ago!

Jan 23rd is good for me.

I believe Choko and I finished the Demon Cycle. I'm still game for chatting as you read though! or maybe other folks will want to jump in with you, and start a new thread? here's the thread we were all reading on... I still want to read the Nightfall saga but I'm not in a hurry.

I'm interested, but it..."
Thank you Chris! I'm looking forward to it! @Saar--I keep hearing all about SK! I am excited.

I might try to join y'all... I've been meaning to do a reread to catch up to the new material.
Hi Everyone!
T'is your friendly neighborhood Threadmster here to remind you to:
1. Make a separate request for each book in a series that you want to set up BRs for. Every book needs its own request, and upcoming/current BRs need new threads.
2. Use the format that Iain mentioned which includes the series name and number.
3. Please double check the date (especially the year) you are requesting the reads for. I can manually make the threads with the correct year, but the form autopopulate the data on our master sheet. Your BR you requested for 2003 may be lost in the ether...
Our entire system (which works beautifully) is based on those request forms, so please use the above guidelines.
Thank you!

I did new requests for whole First Law series, separate for each book.

I'll check later how we can catch up with WoT, I think guys are around book 12 now. Who knows maybe in some point we will be able to join in in one of uncoming ones LOL! I'm not sure if I'll be able to start book 1 this week, but I think we need new BR request for others to join if they wish to and have enough time to read First Law in between :)

If I like it (and I'm pretty sure it is right up my alley), I'd continue on through the series.

There are actually readalongs going on YouTube for both these series. There will be liveshow talking about each book.
The announcement and for both readalongs can be found here if anyone is interested:
First Law:
WoT:
I would have liked to do both but that is way too much pressure for me even at a 1 every two month time frame. I'm planning on loosely joining in with the WoT one but since the first book was for December/January and I will probably be a bit behind for the first few books

I worked on the threads for this series, but after looking at those older threads, I will make new threads for the new BR of this series for organization and the make sure the threads are open to new readers and separate from comments left by previous readers.
Those new threads will be up today.
@Iain can you please manually put in the series name and numbers for the First Law series requests in the FBR spreadsheet? Thanks

Hailee, that's nice, thanks. I'll check later those links in my computer since I can't open them in my phone

Awesome! I can always count on you for a little grimy mcgrimdark reading. Guess we'll see if anyone else wants to join us and select the timing
